Buffalo Bills position preview: Who secures starting safety role?

‘The Bills didn’t overhaul their safety room by any means this off season. After Rapp and Damar Hamlin started last year, there’s more trust in Rapp than ever before for Buff alo.

‘It is a matter of timing. A developer would need to buy a property – a process that likely would take a couple of months to close.
